Block device major 22 is used for the secondary IDE
controller (hdc and hdd). It is not available as a
module the last I checked. Rather, it must be compiled
into the kernel. Looks like you forgot to compile in
IDE (or IDE cdrom, tape, etc.) support, or you are
attempting to access a device which you don't have.
If you don't want IDE support in the kernel, you can
put 'alias block-major-22 off' in your conf.modules
to eliminate this message. You should first find out
why your system is trying to access either hdd or hdc.
Otherwise, recompile the kernel with IDE support...
You can find out what block major 22 is by doing a
'ls -l /dev | grep 22,' and looking at what devices
have that number. You can use this technique to find
what /dev entries correspond any device major number.
